EM Hasher
Quickly calculate CRC-32/MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256/SHA-512 checksums in Windows 11.
Overview
EM Hasher is a modern, simple hash calculating app (WinUI/3) built from the ground up for Windows 11. Native and fast (AOT) X64|ARM64. Quickly and easily calculate file hashes directly in Windows Explorer or on your Desktop. Choose your preferred hashing algorithms, including CRC-32/MD5/SHA-1/SHA-256/SHA-512. What would you like to see next?
Coming soon! (No really, it is :-)
Hash verification via auto detection of file hashes contained in any local .md5, .sha256 file(s) etc. If the selected file is matched to any hash validation file, a simple validation result will be shown in the UI (icon).
